A southwest Florida mother and daughter give birth same day, same hospital


Heather Penticoff found out that she was pregnant the same day her daughter, Destinee Martin, did. Doctors gave them the same due date -which most people know isn't an exact science. But they eventually gave birth on the same day, both at Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers, Fla., after they had to be induced separately for different medical reasons on Tuesday, the AP reports.

First came Penticoff's new daughter, Madeline ( also now Martin's new sister), followed by Martin's son, Damien (Penticoff's grandson), almost three hours later. ''This is something that you can't plan,'' Penticoff said. ''This is something God sets in motion, and you just roll with the punches.'' She added. ''To have my mom going through it with me is probably the most special, amazing thing ever,'' Martin said.
